πŸ’¬ Usage Examples

β€œThe musical consanguinity of the guitarist and pianist [Metheny/Mehldau] is undeniable. It’s also, paradoxically, something which enables each to remain emphatically individual, and a key to why their duo work is so unforgettable; they can enter each other’s musical world and cast light on it from a different perspective.” Jazz; Irish Times (Dublin); Nov 3, 2006.
